Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I have been active in alternate energy for a couple years (since 1969) and I have started a non-profit organization for recycling aluminum cans. Aluminum production uses 3% of the worlds electricity. This could be cut in half by recycling aluminum. I also follow the (Al Gore) environmental campaign closely.

What excites you about this campaign?

It is a great short term solution that has long term benefits both in reducing our dependence on foreign oil and improving our environment by reducing carbon emissions.

What do you want to do to help?

Community activist, educator.

Here's how you can help.

PLEASE email the Pickens Plan video to everyone you know. www.pickensplan.com. Ask them to JOIN. Ask them to pass it along. Time is of the essence. If every member had 10 friends join today, we could put the number of members over 1 million very quickly!

If we can not get critical numbers how can we take advantage of this golden opportunity? High gas prices have "woken up" America to our plight and a paradigm shift like not other is in the wind. We need to do this now.

So many new members write "I want to help, what can I do?" This is a start. We may not get to the next step if we can not get this one done. Our leaders can not ignore millions of members of the Pickens Plan. We are not there yet. .

If you have a connection to the press- get them to cover this.
If you know someone who blogs- get them to cover this.
If you can write a letter to your Representative or Senator- get them to see this.
We added close to 3,000 members yesterday.... it should be 10 times that!

Want to learn more? Check out the Topeka, Kansas Town Meeting video (on the right hand side, in blue, on the home page). Very informative.

Have a nice day. Please let me know how it goes. Feel free to friend me.
